Where to buy Broccoli Seeds?

Best if sprouted 1-2 days and eaten as a sprouted seed.

The Azure Standard intructions say "Ready in 1-3 days and will be 0" to 1/2" long. Mix with alfalfa and grow 4-5 days." I am curious to try sprouting them with something else. I do enjoy experimenting.

Good to know. I'll definitely eat the sprouts if they are sproutable, then, because the nutritional profile of poppy sprouts is amazing, even better then sesame seed sprouts.

For some reason we tend to use Latin words for pleasant attributes and greek words for the negative. Also interesting that the translator you used translated from Latin to Greek rather than giving you the sense of the word . . . if you see what I mean :)

If they are not sproutable then try to buy the variety I mentioned from a flower seed seller. Actually you can usually find these poppies all over the place so you could just go right ahead and get some seed to sow yourself and build up the number you grow. This is what they look like although the petal come in various colours and with various petal arrangements from the single you see here to a fully pom-pom double. The leaves will tell you for sure. You want that glaucous leaf for the right type of poppy.



I feel sure you will have seen these growing in gardens all over the place . . . yes?

The poppy seeds I got from them didn't sprout, unless I did something wrong? I may have to try them again. The fenugreek from them definitely sprouts though! We sprout them all the time. I wish they sold unhulled sunflower seeds too but they don't seem to. They do take requests though so you may want to pop them an email. I did get a small bag of barley but I haven't tried to do anything with it yet. The oat groats are the wrong ones (at least the 25 lb bag), they've been stabilized (meaning heat treated) to make the shelf life longer.

So my seed order arrived today. I have some peas and some sunflower seeds soaking. It is a good day to be me!

The hulled seeds tend to go rancid and rot far before they reach the stage where they are mature microgreens, only the unhulled seeds can last long enough.

So even though the sunflower seeds I got are not the kind to grow microgreens with I have really been enjoying them. I have had a hard time weening myself off of roasted peanuts and it looks like I have found just the right thing to satisfy that craving. They are also less expensive! I also have some radish sprouts and broccoli sprouts that should be ready to go for lunch tomorrow. Plus I have been starting some peas every day and I have my first batch of sesame seeds soaking right now!

That's great Delmar! The sunflower sprouts are a little high in phosphorous and low in calcium, but in moderation they're fine. Sesame sprouts are loaded with calcium, B vitamins and vitamin E and other minerals so they balance out the sunflower sprouts. Ultimately sesame sprouts are far better then sunflower sprouts, but if the sunflower sprouts are helping you avoid cooked food then stick with them. They're still very nutritious.

Pea shoot juice is awesome, I'm so glad that I've added it to my routine again. The only things better are wheatgrass juice and sunflower greens juice. If you start really hitting the sprout juices hard and add some algae and sea veggies into your diet you'll soon feel absolutely extraordinary.
